Versatile analysis of some biochemical and hematological parameters of sheep

Abstract

Biochemical, whole blood hematological and macro-mineral values are critical health and disease status parameters, which depend on animals’ conditions, age, gender, breed, region, husbandry, geographical differences, seasonal changes, rearing location and diet. In this study, all parameters were measured in blood samples obtained from healthy Akkaraman sheep, composed of lambs and adults of both sexes. Analyses of the parameters were carried out with commercial assay kits. When comparing the values of the biochemical variables, a significant difference (P
